Floyd Mayweather Issues a Twitter Statement About the Racist Joke That Justin Bieber Told Five Years Ago

Floyd Mayweather and Justin Bieber have been friends for a few years now. Bieber has accompanied Money May to the ring before his last few fights and, last year, he even made an appearance at a birthday party for Mayweather's daughter. So even though Bieber is facing a ton of scrutiny right now because of a racist joke that he told five years ago, Mayweather has already come out and said that he is not going to leave Bieber's corner. He took to Twitter last night to publicly show support for Bieber, who has spent the last 24 hours trying to apologize for using the N-word while telling a joke on camera back when he was 15.

Here are the two tweets that Mayweather sent out:

Justin has been nothing but kind to me, my daughters & sons over the years. We all make mistakes when we are young, it’s part of growing up.
